Objective To investigate the genotypic frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) (1376G ＞ T),G6PD 1311C ＞ T and G6PD IVS11-93T ＞ C in 50 newborns with G6PD deficiency in Guangdong region.Methods To identify G6PD deficiency in the patients of neonatal ward in Guangzhou First People's Hospital during 2010,detected by methemoglobin reduction test and measurement of G6PD/6-phosphate dehydrogenase (6PGD) ratio.Fifty G6PD deficiency subjects were classified into the experimental group,20 neonatal jaundice subjects were classified into the control group.Genomic DNA was extracted by standard method from the peripheral blood of each subject.PCR-direct DNA sequence analysis was used to identify G6PD 1376G ＞ T,1311C ＞ T and 11 intron 93T ＞ C mutations.Results The overall results of mutation analysis in the 50 G6PD deficiency subjects showed the existence of 3 different alleles:G6PD 1376G ＞T,1311C ＞T,11 intron 93T ＞ C(including 1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C and 1376G ＞T/1311C ＞T/IVS11-93T ＞ C complex mutations).The different genotypic frequency in the experimental group was G6PD 1376G ＞T 26.0％ (13/50 cases),1311C ＞ T 4.0％ (2/50 cases),11 intron 93T ＞ C 4.0％ (2/50 cases),1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C 2.0％ (1/50 cases),1376G ＞ T/1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C 2.0％ (1/50 cases).The G6PD enzyme activity of the subjects with 1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C and 1376G ＞ T/1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C complex mutation were reduced.These G6PD mutations were not found in the controls.Conclusions G6PD 1376G ＞ T is one of the commonest mutation in G6PD deficiency newborn in Guangdong region.A novel complex mutation 1376G ＞ T/1311C ＞ T/IVS11-93T ＞ C in this study was found.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on acute kidney injury after cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods One hundred patients of both sexes with rheumatic heart disease,aged 32-64 yr,weighing 46-75 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (New York Heart Association class Ⅱ or Ⅲ),scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were divided into 2 groups (n =50 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused in a loading dose of 1 μg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by an infusion of 0.4 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 24 h after operation in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.The urine output per hour during the postoperative 48 h period was recorded.At 6,12,24,36 and 48 h after operation,blood samples were collected from the median cubital vein for determination of serum creatinine levels.The development and severity of acute kidney injury were determined according to the urine output and serum creatinine level.Results Compared with group C,the incidence and severity of acute kidney injury were significantly decreased in the postoperative 48 h period in group D (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine infused in a loading dose of 1 μg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by an infusion of 0.4 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 24 h after operation can reduce the development and severity of acute kidney injury after cardiac valve replacement with CPB in patients.

Objective To explore the higher dangerous factors,the early clinical performances and its contents of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage(NPH).Methods The clinical performances,chest radiograms and autoptical pathological materials of 66 cases of newborns who died of NPH at our neonatal department during 1993 to 2003 were reviewed and analyzed.Results The higher dangerous factors of NPH were premature delivery/low birth weight,serious diseases lead to hypoxia and severe infections.The early clinical performances of NPH were the suddenly aggravation of dyspnea and the increasing of moist sounds.The early X-ray performances were lower penetrance of lung fields extensively and well-distributly with path clouds,the intercostals space usually increased.According to the autoptical(patho)-logy,this X-ray perfomance indicated the edema of the pulmonary with small amount of hemorrhage.Conclusion The patients with the higher dangerous factors and the early clinical performances of NPH,must be diagnosed and interfered it as early as possible to reduce the mortality of NPH.

Objective To explore the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases-1(MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) in sternomastoid muscle and explore the pathogenesis of sternomastoid muscle fibrosis in congenital fibra muscular torticollis in children.Methods The hyperplastic state of collagen fiber were determine by Masson collagen stainning method and muscular torticollis and fibra torticollis was differed,obtained 22 cases of the fibra torticollis group.Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in sternomastoid muscle of fibra torticollis and compared them with 6 cases of control group.Results By the immunohistochemical method,the expression of MMP-1 in the experiment group significantly decreased than that in control group(P0.05).Conclusion In congenital fibra torticollis,the sternomastoid muscle fibrosis is related to the decrease of MMP-1.

Objective To explore the psychomotor development in 12 month old infants born after in vitro fertilization with a control group of infants concieved naturally.Methods A matched control study was performed on psychomotor development of 12-month-old infants concieved with use of assisted reproductive technology(in vitro fertilization only).The control group was matched according to maternal age,parity,social class and level of parental education.The suitable mothers were invited to participate at the 28th week of gestation and were followed up to delivery.The infants of the two groups were followed up to 12 months old and a formal developmental assessment was done with the Children Development Center of China(CDCC) scales of infant development.Results The incidences of preterm birth,low birth weight and twin pregnancy were significantly higher in the assisted conception group.No statistically significant difference was found in the mental development index and psychomotor development index between assisted conception and control groups.Conclusions The levels of psychomotor development in 12 months old infants born after in vitro fertilization are normal.But as the incidences of preterm birth,low birth weight and multifetation are significantly higher in vitro fertilization group,it need to follow up the ongoing development of these children.
